What causes pimple on the roof of mouth?

Answered by

Question: I have a pimple on the roof of my mouth and i was wondering what it is. I did have unprotected oral and intercourse about 5 days prior. I'm not sure if it is related or not. The two pictures provided are 3 days apart and shows the progression, the bump first started off as a small bump and grew into a pimple like mass.
Also when I run my tongue across my palate I can feel more tiny bumps which are not visible due to the flash of the camera. Please aware me of anything else that does not look usual.
To be more specific I didn't notice anything on the roof of my mouth until the day after I had the unprotected oral/intercourse, but I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or not. I have already asked the other person to get an STD test and I am going tomorrow to see if I have any STD's aswell.

I went through your history & would like to ask you do you have any such ulceration on genitals also??? Secondly do you have skin rashes in all your limbs???If you have these two symptoms then it could be syphilitic ulcer & has transferred to you through your partner.You need to go for STD tests & if positive then treated accordindly.Various other reasons could be:-- due to thermal injury due to excessive hot intake- due to gastric problem- due to hormonal changes- due to some trauma- due to some infection like chicken pox

Consult your dentist & go for investigations like blood tests to rule out STD& then get it treated accordingly.

No, I do not have uclerations on my genitals or skin rashes on my limbs. That was the first time I have had sexual contact with another partner in 2 years, I was in a long term relationship before. I did intake large amounts of alchohol and did smoke last weekend, things I don't normally do so maybe that could have triggered something. She is getting tested as well, but she is pretty sure she is std free since from what she told me she isn't promiscuous. Isn't it true that STD symptoms don't show up until 2+ weeks after contamination?
I am getting my renewed insurance card so I will be visiting the clinic sometime on monday or tuesday of next week. This morning it seems pretty cleared up, so if symptoms persist I will go see an oral surgeon that has provided healthcare to me before.
The picture i just uploaded is what it looks like as of this morning.

As i mentioned first symptom of syphilis transmission is painless ulceration around genital organs.Later on it such ulceration appear in oral cavity.But since you don't have any such symptoms & no rashes then it might not be STD.Moreover it takes 10-90 days after exposure to appear.Although chances are very rare, still let her go for tests.You needn't worry. Rule out the other causes as i mentioned earlier.All will be fine.

I am having total hysterectomy in a few days. They're not taking my ovaries, just the uterus and cervix. It's the da vinci assisted laparoscopic version. Is the complication rate lower with the robotic assisted surgery? I have heard of some women having urinary issues afterward. Does the robotic surgery take as long as the traditional laparoscopic or is it shorter or longer or does it depend on the surgeon?

I was bit by an insect 3 times 2 days ago on the side of my face just ext to my left ear. It burned the first day, but they are now 3 hard painful bumps. They are a little bit red around them but mostly flesh color. Today, the 3rd day, they are still very painful and the pain seems to be traveling down my face towards my neck/ lymph node area. Is this all normal, should I watch and see. or seek medical attention? Any suggestions of treatment?

Hi I have had thrush for about 3 months but now my gp says that the test result for thrush came back negative. I am now getting a sensation of a burnt tongue this seemed to cool a little yesterday but after about half hour after dinner it flared up for about two hours. Could this be an alergic reaction or something else?

I’m 21 years old and 8 months ago I got grazed in my right eye by a clump of dirt someone threw. When I went to the doctor the morning after the incident he looked into my eye with a slit lamp and said there was blood there, but that it was too dense for him to see my retina and to come back a week later to give the blood time to disperse a little. When I went back everything was fine. The blood remained, but has gotten lighter and more mobile (I guess) over the past 8 months, although I still notice light, wispy, pieces dart across my vision when looking up at a clear blue sky. I guess what I am asking is that these remnants of blood that I still see in my eye…are they ever going to fully dissolve without surgical intervention? I read somewhere that blood takes longer to dissolve in ‘younger’ eyes with a fully formed vitreous (I’m only 21). Is it normal for pieces of blood from a traumatic vitreous hemorrhage to still be present in the eye after so many months in cases like mine? Should I expect to live with this for life, or will it eventually dissolve? I wasn’t given much information on Vitreous Hemorrhages except for what I’ve read on the internet.
